Troubleshooting Linking a Bank Account

When investors are unable to successfully link a bank, there are a few things we can check for. When a bank does not link successfully, or other errors occur, the issue has the potential to stem from a few causes:

  1. The bank they are attempting to link is not a supported Plaid institution: To check if your bank is a Plaid - accepted institution, please reach out to our Investor Relations team by clicking the chat icon at the bottom-right of the screen,

  2. You have already linked three bank accounts to a given investment account (investors may only link up to three bank accounts per investment account).

In summary, linking a bank account to your EquityMultiple account is a quick and easy process that can be done in just a few minutes. Once your account is linked, you can start investing right away. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our Investor Relations team.
